1990’s GMTV star, Mr Motivator, partnered with local charity to get people moving

St Barnabas Hospice has joined forces with fitness star, Mr Motivator to bring #IsolationMotivation to the UK. 

Working in partnership with Mr Motivator, first made famous in the 1990’s on GMTV, St Barnabas Hospice has announced a new initiative, allowing people to exercise, and fundraise if they wish, whilst staying at home in isolation.

The coronavirus has brought many challenges for charities – how will they continue to raise money for their vital services? How can they engage supporters and help them with their wellbeing and health during these unprecedented times? How can they help to contribute to the national coronavirus effort?

St Barnabas has answered all these questions with the fantastic, at-home #IsolationMotivation. They are helping members of the public exercise whilst social distancing, keeping their supporters engaged with a fun alternative to mass participation events, and if they can, either donate or raise some much-needed money for end-of-life care in Lincolnshire.

The Hospice is asking for people to visit their Facebook page daily at 10am, where they will find Mr Motivator’s ten-minute work-out. There will be a work-out each day for two weeks to help with people’s wellbeing and mental health during this crisis. Whilst this is a fun and inclusive activity, people are being encouraged to set up a Facebook fundraiser to raise £28 for St Barnabas if they can. This £28 is just £2 per work-out, which is the cost of a cup of tea or coffee that people often buy on their way into work.
